Waking Up in Los Angeles

Well, we all want a home

Metaphorical or real

Some place to make us feel whole

And the words to this song

While geographically specific

They could apply to anywhere or any of you

I'm talking to you

Waking up alive again

But tryin' to stop the bleedin'

That's how it is

But at least there's still the sky above

And you still love the feelin' of

Waking up in Los Angeles

Waking up in Los Angeles

La, la, la-la, la, la-la

La, la, la-la, la, la

La, la, la-la, la, la-la

La, la, la-la, la, la-la

Waking up still dreamin'

And tryin' to hold on to that feelin'

Oh my God, hold on, hold on

But at least you got a reason for

And at least you got the feel for

How the days roll on

Waking up and you know it

It's got some kind of glow to it

When the light's just right

But at least you got a real love

A love for the idea of

Waking up in Los Angeles

Waking up in Los Angeles
